Hi Melee
It depends on which country and which service we are speaking of.
This reverse geocoding service returns street level data for the US :

We have changed the administrative division of the UK and have included the 'countries' England,Scottland, Wales and Northern Ireland as first level administrative division ADM1. All other divisions were moved down one level.
ADM1 : countries (4)
ADM2 : counties, metropolitan districts, unitary-authorities, greater london
ADM3 : districts / parishes in region without districts
ADM4 : parishes in districts
The publictag attribute helps distinguish between the type of admin divisions.
The administrative hiearchy in the UK is rather complex. See also this blog posting :
http://geonames.wordpress.com/2007/04/11/ordnance-survey-administrative-divisons/
The GORs are not included in the GeoNames admin hiearchy for the UK. We will find an other way to model this relationship between admininstative divisions.
Update May 2010: The UK admin divisions have been updated with the newly released data by the OS Open Data initiative:

Hallo Ralf
Vielen Dank. Ich habe ein Rjukan gelöscht und das Problem mit der Beligischen Provinz gelöst.
Du kannst es hier melden, wenn immer du was findets.
Gruss

No problem. Now I see the problem and I have marked the other languages too. What I don't understand is why you cannot do this update, shouldn't be.
Cheers

Hi Oscar
I have added an new alternate name 'Istanbul' and set it as preferred name. It should not be necessary to set all names to 'preferred' since the old names don't have a language flag just like the preferred name I have just created.
Cheers

I don't have an example for the geonames services. You find a lot of other examples and tutorials on the web :
http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=php+rest
This should help you to get started.

Hi
If your points are in the US then you can use our 'findNearestAddress' web service :
http://ws.geonames.org/findNearestAddress?lat=37.451&lng=-122.18
For points outside of the US we don't have a street level reverse geocoding service. You could use the findNearbyPlace service to get the closest city name. You might want to combine different services to get the optimal result.
In any case, please be nice to our servers and use some wait time between requests.
Cheers

Hi Oscar
Thanks. There was something amis. Another user has changed the administrative division to the capital and the capital to the section of a populated place. I have undone these modifications.

Hallo Ralf
Ich denke es macht mehr Sinn das geographische Zentrum zu nehmen (was auch immer das ist). Ich habe deshalb die US auf eine Position südlich von Lebanon, Kansas korrigiert. Das politische Zentrum lässt sich ja leicht aus der Hauptstadt ableiten, falls jemand daran interessiert ist.

As I undertand it there was a restructuring in 1996. We seem to have the 21 districts priot to this.
Today there are 32 districts.
Do you know the coordinates to the 32 current districts?
Cheers

Hallo Simon
Diejenigen, die ADMD waren habe ich auf ADM3 aktualisiert. Jetzt haben wir noch 166 ADMDs :
http://www.geonames.org/search.html?q=admd+at&country=AT
Viele davon sollten eigentlich verschwinden.
Die anderen werden ich als neue ADM3 einfügen an den Koordinaten der zugehörigen PPL. Das heisst alle Gemeinden haben den feature code ADM3 und die Städte den feature code PPL. Damit ist sichergestellt, dass es nur einen ADM3 pro Gemeinde gibt. Das ist eine gewisse Doppelspurigkeit, die lässt sich aber mit der einfachen eindimensionalen Gliederung nicht umgehen und stört ja auch nicht.
Das heisst bei den duplicates hat es auch solche dabei, die nicht duplicate sind. Zum Bsp "Russbach am Pass Gschütt" ist als PPL und ADMD vorhanden. Es muss nur das ADMD auf ADM3 gesetzt werden.
Die Koordinaten kannst du gerne von der OpenGeoDB verwenden, die Lizenz ist zum Glück kompatibel. Ich wusste gar nicht, dass die OpenGeoDB jetzt auch Daten für Österreich enthält.

Hi Rakesh
Did you check the query execution plan for your query? I doubt it is using the index.
As we anyhow do some processing in the application level we calculate the exact meter values within the application and not on the database. We also combine the radius parameter with the maxRows parameter which translates to a 'limit' clause on the database level.
Cheers

Hi Eirik
Sure. Here you go :
http://ws.geonames.org/postalCodeSearch?country=NO&adminCode1=12&adminCode2=1243
I had to make a minor change to enable this kind of query.
Cheers

Ich leite jetzt einige web services auf einen anderen server im cluster.

Das sollte eigentlich gar nicht passieren. Der neue Server ist auch schon bereit, muss nur noch alles installiert werden.

Hi
Thanks for the donation.
Some countries have complicated forms with a lot of islands. The polygon for Alaska has 70'000 points.
Cheers
